About the Course:

This course is designed to help laity and clergy deepen their understanding of persons living with dementia and help all maintain their identity and worth as beloved children of God. Confronting the deep personal and theological questions created by loving people with dementia, Carder calls the church to a deeper discipleship defined by the quality of our caring and receiving relationships.

Participants will discover what it means to carry each other’s memories, joys, and diminishments together in community. Through loving practices that nurture and incorporate persons with Alzheimer’s and dementia into the church’s life and ministry, we experience a spiritual wholeness rooted in God’s grace beyond our own strengths and capacities.

Participants will:

  • Be better equipped to minister with people affected by dementia, receiving their gifts and responding to their unique needs;
  • Discover practical ways the contributions of people with dementia can be identified, nurtured, and incorporated into the church’s life and ministry;
  • Deepen their understanding of how those with dementia maintain their identity and worth as beloved children of God.

Order Your Book!

All participants are expected to read Ministry with the Forgotten: Dementia through a Spiritual Lens, by Kenneth L. Carder, prior to the course.
